There is a bird in my room... and if you know me, you know of my aversion to all things winged and feathery.
This one's different.
See, when I was little I thought getting birds would be something new to cuddle with. Not the case, the two we got sort of hated me. A lot. It began my hatred of all things feathery and their hatred of me. I'm terrfied of seagulls (I was viciously attacked as a child, but I kept those french fries dammit) and I was chased around The Tower of London by a small flock massive ravens. It's sad to say they could hop faster than I could run. Piegons pooped on me througout London, Bath (as in, The City Of) and Dublin.
Needless to say, I am not fond of birds.
However, yesterday while I was at class Cleopatra (our pet budgie, yes, the others one's name is Antony. Hush) died. She'd been sick for a while, and finally just wore herself out. Well now, Antony is alone and without his mate, and since the bird is mine, we thougt it best to put him in my room.
He loves me. This bird, who has previously tried to eat my Dad, Mom, and me, now feels that when I leave the room, I have left him forever and ever, never to be heard from again. He nibbles on my fingers when I press them to the cage (a sign of affection in bird world) and when I get too far away chirps like no tomorrow. Also, he apparently likes my singing. He's only quiet when I'm wailing away to Nelly Furtado, or whoever else I'm listening to and sometimes sings with me. He has a much better voice.
I have become a bird's best friend, but am sad to say he might not live too long without his mate or he may have caught whatever disease she had. And I'm attached. Dammit...
Ah well. Off to pet feather face.
